We stayed here for four nights in December and had a truly great time. Ouirgane is a small village, beautifully located at a lake between the mountains. It's a great place to detach and do some hiking. People are really nice and there is a very cozy café as well as a restaurant. The place itself has a very nice rooftop and fireplace. Khalid the local host is extremely friendly and helpful, and can organize tours, transport etc. overall a very great time!

The perfect getaway in the Atlas Mountains! The house was very comfortable, clean and as advertised. Awesome rooftop terrace with view of lake and mountains. Great place to disconnect and relax, and explore local Berber villages. Abdul greeted us at the meet up spot as planned, and he was very friendly and helpful. There was no wifi/internet, which was actually kind of nice. Thanks Pascal.

We (my wife and 2 children, 6 & 8 yrs old) enjoyed our stay at Pascal's traditional (Berber), rugged, village-house. We arrived at Ouirgane by car, where we were met by Abdrahim (the guy who takes care of the house since Pascal is in France). He led on his motorcycle as we followed him to the parking area of Pascal's place. The whole process took about 40 mins. A. helped us unload and carry our bags to the house, which is about 2 mins walk through narrow pathways in a traditional Berber village. The living area is one flight up. The house is traditional, which means the rooms aren't huge (you can see in the pics), and there aren't many frills. The cleanliness could also have been more. The toilet is western, which made our lives easier. The living room has two froshes and a fire place. There is a door and a window into this room, but there is no way to seal the room, which meant we stayed close to the fire (on plastic chairs) since it was winter. It was great that the place was well-stocked with firewood. Could not have made it without it. Each of the bedrooms had electric heaters, which were really nice. At night, the dog in the abandoned house next store howled and whined some at night and during the calls to prayer. The roosters started crowing at about 3:30 AM. We expected this, but it may be worth noting in case you wanted to bring your earplugs. The terrace was amazing. Sunrise/set, and really anytime during the day or night was just breathtaking. Incredible. Abdrahim helped us organize meals for a reasonable price (and he delivered them, too!). He was very kind. We enjoyed exploring the area, from walking to the lake, to driving to the old abandoned French goldmine and processing plant from the 1930's. There is so much to see in the area.

We offre our guests confortable individual bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning and balcony. Our offer is for individual rooms not the whole house; however, if you are a large party we are happy to rent the whole house just for you if possible; for more information please get in touch.

On the edge of the Toubkal National Park, a gorgeous restored and super stylish 19th Century Berber house in its own splendid plant filled garden at the end of a private path, private yet not at all remote and only one hour from Marrakech!

You will be looked after like kings (should you wish) by my neighbours with whom I have arranged room service to include delicious home cooked Berber recipes using home organically grown ingredients.
A short stroll will plunge you in fields and on rural paths, where a centuries old life style still carries on. The views as you wander further up the village are stunning. Groves of almond, olive and pomegranate are interspersed with general small holdings, with blossom and scent filling the air for a significant period of the year.
A perfect base to explore the region, where history and nature combine to enrich your trip, or to simply relax.
Swimming is available in hotel pools or at L'Oliveraie, 3 km away, essentially a day club with a pool set in an olive grove where lunch is available in a lovely setting, and at other hotels too on the doorstep, such as La Roseraie.
General Information : Marrakech Airport 37 miles (1 hour by taxi). Taxis can be arranged in advance for 500 Dh one way. This is much cheaper than at the airport. Car hire is available at the airport. The journey is for the most part spectacular as you head southwards towards the Atlas and then wind your way up to Ouirgane, which lies at 1000 metres above sea level. Buses to Marrakech or shared taxis go through the village daily. Private taxis can easily be arranged in house to go to Marrakech for day trips or otherwise. A guide (and mules) are also available by arrangement there at short notice.
Asni 8 miles. Marigha 2 miles. Marrakech 40 miles. Tin Mal mosque (1 hour). Taroudant (4 hours) through the Tizn Test mountain pass, the highest in Morocco. Stunning scenery all the way!
Day trips can be arranged in house to all these locations and many more, including Oukaimeden. Treks can also be arranged as well, as and when.
Food and Dining: Delicious home cooked Berber recipes using home grown ingredients are available delivered to the house. Full board: 150 DHS per Adult, 80 DHS per child over 5. Half board: 100 DHS and 60 DHS. Restaurants are further available within the main hotels, as well as bars. La Roseraie, a luxury hotel, is a wonderful place to have an aperitif in the afternoon and make the most of its stunning setting. It is approximately 5 minutes walk away. Meals can be had there in their palatial salon or by the pool and gardens in the day. More developed amenities and banks are available in Asni or Tahanaoute, both within a half hour drive. Asni, the main village in the area, leads to Imlil, which lies at the end of a stunning road, which also passes Richard Branson's luxurious Kasbah Tamadot, the drive is stunning.
Climate in Ouirgane: The climate in Ouirgane is ideal from early Spring to late Autumn. The Summers are much more gentle than in Marrakech and the plains, and although it can get hot in July and August, it is rare for it to become uncomfortable. The Winters are gentle in the day when the sun is shining but can be cold in the mornings and evenings. In December and January the nights can be very cold. There are electric radiators in the main rooms to fight the winter and a fireplace in one of the bedrooms too. It must be noted that due to the Moroccan design of houses there is an internal courtyard that is open to the sky and therefore the heating is not like in centrally heated properties In the UK! If you are adverse to some chill then December and January are best avoided although the house is very cosy.
The night skies can be stunning, with very little light pollution. Shooting stars are a regular occurrence!
The house is perfect for those who want to experience a different side to Morocco without being isolated, and for those who love to wander in nature and admire a centuries old social and agricultural landscape. It is an ideal base to explore the varied surroundings and to combine it with a stay in Marrakech or Taroundant.

The setting is glorious, at the end of a private path, in a garden filled with mature tress, shrubs and flowers. There are different areas to lounge and relax and the nearby landscapes are to die for, whether exploring on foot, mule or car.

A fabulous place to explore the beautiful surroundings of Ouirgane. The house is exactly as described and provides all necessary ingredients for a a comfortable stay. Mohammed and Khadija are simply the loveliest people to take care of everything you need as a guest.
